How to avoid minor jerks in servo motor?

[ayosuva]

Hi @richardghirst ,

I am using you servoBlaster library. some time i am getting minor jerks in the servo motor(MG996R Metal Gear Servo Motor).How to avoid these jerks?

I assume you mean the servos are supposed to be stationary, but are moving
a little every now and then. Check the power to them good; if the power is
not stable they will move. You could set the idle timeout, so servoblaster
stops driving the servo if it hasn't moved for a couple of seconds. Then
it should not move at all.

how to set the idle time?

[richardghirst]

It is in the README.txt here:
https://github.com/richardghirst/PiBits/tree/master/ServoBlaster

Run servod with option --idle--timeout=2000 for example.
